Well, in windows advanced in the help file there is REGEXPTITLE option... but it's Regular Expressions, if you don't know how to use them then you would need to learn.

I told you... you have a space in the text parameter, " " should be "".

If it still hangs... restart your PC because I have no idea.

Outlook Express has hidden windows with similar titles. You may need to use the Class as mentioned here. Advanced title/text syntax has changed since then so modify to suit.

Maybe it's a stupid question, but do you have the line

AutoItSetOption('WinTitleMatchMode', 4)

in your script? You are using Advanced Window Descriptions, so it should be in your script to make it work!

Option 4 is used for backward compatibility with older syntax of Advanced title/text usage. The newer syntax using "[...]" does not require an option to enable Advanced title/text usage.
